Is the Universe a blockchain? A cryptographic model of the Universe.

Authors: Bohdan Andriyiv ([email protected])

Keywords: crackpotting, fun_with_physics

I found it amusing to find analogies between how blockchain and how the Universe work. This is a napkin analysis meant for the entertainment only. Probably it has already been done in much more detail. Anyway, I hope it will amuse someone also.

Blockchain

  1. Ever increasing in size. Had Big Bang.
  2. Have a block time
  3. Not editable without impractically massive amount of work
  4. Public-private key pairs
  5. Have randomness in?

Universe

  1. Ever expanding. Had genesis block.
  2. Have Plank time - smallest possible time period
  3. Time is not reversable - not editable
  4. Entanglement phenomenon
  5. Uncertainty principal

Coincidence:) ?

Help me with point 5. Find analogy to the uncertainty principal of the universe to something inherently random in blockchain. Is there any randomness, uncertainty in blockchains?
